    Given the virtual sign over Caterham's door says "under new management" it's not surprising to see things being shaken up a bit. Feel sorry for Kamui, though.

    Lotterer confirmed at Caterham (crash.net)

    I think Red Bull's going to have tough going on this one. They aren't too great on the high speed tracks. I'm hoping for a Merc / Williams fight at the front, with Alonso's frustration providing the extra horsepower he needs to get a podium (slim chance, I know).

    Ferarri, fueled by RAGE! ;)

    For some reason my U-Verse DVR will not record the season of F1 events on CNBC. I'm starting to wonder if they are uniquely tagged because it seems like each race I have to go set it up to record again for any of it that is on CNBC (no issues with NBCSN).

    Anytime anything is on CNBC I have to make sure it is set up to record. Can't seem to get it to record any kind of series either. Must be some kind of tagging issue.

    Marussia HAS scored point this year at least, you have to give them that - has Sauber?

    Marussia has 2 points so far (Jules Bianchi at Monaco). Sauber has none.

    Yes Marussia have points, good on them for that. Their cars are still moving chicanes. Bet they change the mirrors out after every session, I'm sure the drivers are wearing them out through maximum use.

    I've read a lot about this Ros / Ham biz since the race. A lot being said and I've decided there's no way to be sure at this point exactly what Rosberg actually said post-race much less what he meant by it.

    Everyone is doing their own interpreting and, not surprisingly, interpretations from the media and pundits are as sensationalistic as they can manage. That said, I'll take a turn; here's my guess. :biggrin5: I think when he said (if he actually used these words) "I did it to prove a point", the important question is what point was he trying to prove? Pretty much everyone assumes Hamilton's interpretation -- that Rosberg meant to deliberately cause a collision in an attempt to ruin Hamilton's race -- is "the point" Rosberg meant to make. I don't believe it.

    I think he just refused to automatically give the line to Hamilton and let the collision happen in order to make it clear that he wouldn't be intimidated ..... and it backfired on him, big time. He could have moved to avoid the collision and he chose not to. That choice alone will get him a double slap on the wrists from Herr Wolff, regardless of his post-race comments.

    So, there's the question of intent which may be investigated by the FIA. But regardless of whether Rosberg was "proving a point" there was still an incident and the question of blame. Rosberg's trouble is, Hamilton was ahead by more than a half car length (in fact, I think the first touch was between Rosberg's front tire and Hamilton's rear). Then Hamilton, who was moving faster at that point, pulled further along before the collision between Rosberg's nose and Hamilton's rear tire. If I understand the usual etiquette (or whatever it is) I think Hamilton had the right to the racing line into the corner and that it was Rosberg's responsibility to avoid the collision. Or did Hamilton chop across aggressively so he deserves the blame? Or was it just a racing incident?

    There's the rub. Thanks to Rosberg's words, whatever they really were, someone is likely to decide it can't be considered a no-fault incident. If he'd kept his mouth shut that incident would have just been fodder for blame-game discussions, but he made it much worse. Now it's Ros/Ham-gate.

    I feel sorry for Magnussen.

    Magnussen handed 20 second time penalty for Alonso clash (nbcsports.com)

    I think Rosberg's point is something internal at the team. Like "Hammy will do what ever it takes" or "the team will issue orders" or "the team needs to issue orders".

    I would agree that it was another good race. I was excited to hear Nikki say before the race that they were going to let the drivers race each other, but that was short lived. Intentional or not, it was a dumb move by Nico (I would say the same thing if it had been Lewis).

    That is a shame for Magnussen. He had his hands full trying to hold off Alsono, Seb, and Jensen and looked pretty good doing it. Love that the youngsters aren't afraid to mix it up with the veterans.

    As I have already said, I think there was dumbness in both cockpits. Trying a low percentage pass on ones teammate & said teammate chopping back across the other in a retaliatory way. I was thinking 50-50, but reflecting a bit I'm thinking Nico 55% & Lewis 45%. Either way they add up to 100% contact. As fast as that happened not sure either could sus out the outcome of their actions. I don't believe Nico did what he did with the intent of slicing Lewis' tire. Good hard racing that didn't go well.

    Man I feel bad for Magnussen. So Alonso has to go wide. BFD there was tons of room there no harm no foul. Not like he ran him into a wall. He drove Alonso hard, just as Alonso would have driven him if the positions were reversed.
